Comment 1 Mike A. Harris 2005-02-11 20:07:21 UTC
If this issue turns out to still be reproduceable in the latest
version of xorg-x11-6.8.2 in rawhide, please file a bug report in
the X.Org bugzilla located at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the
"xorg" component.

Once you've filed your bug report to X.Org, if you paste the new
bug URL here, Red Hat will continue to track the issue in the
centralized X.Org bug tracker, and will review any bug fixes
that become available for consideration in future updates.


Comment 2 Mike A. Harris 2005-02-11 20:18:35 UTC
Setting status to "NEEDINFO", awaiting xorg 6.8.2 test results, and
X.Org bug report URL for tracking.

Comment 3 Mike A. Harris 2005-04-15 07:20:35 UTC
If this issue has been reported to X.org, please provide the bug
URL, and we will track the issue as indicated above.

Comment 4 John Reiser 2005-05-12 19:09:05 UTC
At http://bugs.freedesktop.org, bug #2991 and bug #3280 appear to be directly
related (switching to VT from X does not work), although perhaps do not include
the "group_led" aspect.


Comment 5 Mike A. Harris 2005-08-30 07:29:46 UTC
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2991 doesn't appear to be
related to this bug in any way that I can see.  Removing it from the
bug list...

Comment 6 Mike A. Harris 2005-08-30 07:30:20 UTC
